Hey guys, ive been having issues with my Laptop pc Latley. Its very slow. I have dual Operating systems on the hard drive and im wondering if that could be slowing it down. The hard drive has 2 partitions 1 for windows the other for Linux mint. what i wwant to do is wipe the drive and start again fresh but my laptop has no CD drive to reintall windows. Also is there a way to find the product key to the install of windows already on the laptop? Thank you

OK here goes...

Use ProduKey - it works...

 

You can install windows from a USB memory stick just download an ISO and use a tool called Rufus to make a bootable usb memory stick

 

As for the slowness, is it a standard HDD or an SSD?
